The turning older crisis

Many freak out when they're seeing their first gray hair or when they turn 30. I never related to that feeling. I wonder why. I'm fine getting older. I think for me it's freedom and opportunity feelings associated with aging.

I like to learn more, to get more experienced and wiser, I like the mentor role and I don't really miss being young. For me being young was chaotic and sad and I had no protection. As adult I got my own back. I'm able to keep me safe and happy.

I also know myself inside out today, which makes life easier. I can still suprise myself , that will never stop no matter how old I get. But I'm grounded in a way I never could as a teen , not even in my twenties.

I like the grounded solid foundation me. And I like the possibilities it leads to.
